What do 10 bits and 30 kHz each say about a recording, and how much data do they make?

Bits are resolution in voltage, hertz are resolution in time. Ten bits divide the converter's range into 210=10242^{10} = 1024210=1024 levels; 30 kHz means 30,000 readings per second, one every 33 µs. Data multiply: 384 channels ×\times× 30,000 samples/s ×\times× 10 bits is about 115 Mbit/s for the spike band of one probe.
